A coalition of states, including New York and 19 others, has filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to challenge its decision to repeal regulations limiting carbon emissions from power plants. The legal action argues that the rollback undermines efforts to combat climate change and weakens environmental protections established under previous federal policies. Attorneys general from the involved states claim the move disregards scientific consensus and public health concerns tied to air pollution. The case highlights a growing political divide over energy regulations and the federal government’s role in addressing environmental challenges.
